rychard:
Bro, I had the same issue, but then, they have made this changes a long time ago, check your mail, I don't think there's anyone writing around 27th or 29th, I had this issue too. So better go and prepare for tomorrow. Mine is today

BOJO123:
just finshed.. please learn your basic mathematics Like simple interest etc.... the maths was quite simple and the English no be here

rychard:
I just pity people jacking GMAT anyhow, when one single question won't even come from there. The experience SAN (senior applicants of Nigeria) know better. I used to be a member so lemme share some secrets with you all.. Since I've never failed a single test first stage all my career (not bragging), it may come handy.
First, know the recruiting agency , lol... This agency from every description is Dragnet, do they set core GMAT questions?.. Nopes, what they do more is SHL,
verbal, numerical, psychometric, and simulations. A resource to help you prepare for dragnet tests are- HR Avatar and Assessmentday.co.uK . study their sample practice questions.

Second, know your role, dragnet, and many other agencies align their questions around the role, engineering and computer science functions require more numerical and psychometric testing than other fields, environmentalist will get more verbal and numerical reasoning (more graphic illustrations) As a little tip, the link for each role is mapped to your login details, so your field is already tied to the bucket that your question is picked from.

Time is of the essence, you have an average of 45 secs on each question, .. Its not by solving the questions, its by solving it with the most effective approach... Here another ,tip, computer based test are adaptive, which means they present the next question based on how you answer the first, as a general rule, the question are likely to get tougher as u successfully answer previous ones, so if you find yourself getting cheaper questions, you're on the wrong path, also ..some questions are deliberately made to slow you down, they take longer time to answer than others, (you must learn to guess this answer and move on) , not all question carry scores, some are used to test your strength for the next question.

If there's a personality test at the end of the other test, don't fail it...those questions that test your personality, are often the most vital, get them wrong and no matter how well you do in the numerical/verbal crap, you won't be called.. Here's a tip, relevance to the role and consistently is all u need to pass a personality test. So once you approach the first question, get a paper and draw a table, for each question find out what it tests for in your personality , if its leadership, decide if its a quality required very well for the role, then give a score for it.. Anytime u come across another leadership question always use that score .. Do the same for other qualities you identify in the questions.

Other hacks,
when you get to test hall, collect used rough sheet of people who just left their seats or finish their test. Study it, well, before u log in. It preps your mind and you're likely going to get an idea on some possible questions.

If the test allows you to go back to finish previous questions. Then it means the questions are more than the time allows by deliberate design.. And the harder questions are most likely placed in the first 10 questions, you must leave the harder questions and breeze through the easier ones first. Then return to complete the hard ones (by then, you have more confidence and have warmed up your brain).

When answering verbal or numerical questions (with graphs or tables). You're likely to use same essay to answer two or more questions, or have questions from same graph or table. So understand the table first, before u answer, so when u come across it. Use the understanding to answer other questions.

Chai, plenty more to say, but I don tire to type.. Quote me I go answer.

scarplanet:
Well said bro. I particularly like your introduction.

A few reservations/observations:
1. You said from every indication, the testing agency is dragnet. On what premise have u based this conclusion? Kindly enunciate.

2. You said there is an average of 45 seconds to each question. How would you know this?

3. I disagree with u saying if one find oneself getting cheaper questions then one is on the wrong track. I wrote GSK test a few years back (yes SHL), I practically answered the later part of the questions in half the time I answered the former; that was because they became so cheap that it became boring (well I guess u understand the figure of speech). My point is, getting harder questions doesn't mean one is on the right track either.

4. I agree with ur tips on the personality test. I advice everyone to go study the job recruitment for the role applied to. That should help with maneuvering the personality test.

5. Finally, that ur hacking tips make sense. I will gather as many rough paper as I can get and study. Thank God I will write by 9:30..

Thanks for the tips though. God bless

I heard DPR pays entry level up to N350,000, but I said that one is a lie.

Maybe they can have some lump sum or upfront payment by year end, but to go home with up to 350k every month. Hmmm . . . . I doubt o!

Anyone with concrete info on their pay?

You're welcome. Well as an accountant, you have no business with EGASPIN. Don't complicate things for yourself. Just focus on general knowledge, english, general maths, facts about the nigerian oil and gas industry and of course, stuff that relates with accounting.

alexandranature:
So dragnet past questions it is then. Guys start forwarding 'em dragnet past questions for preparation.

OmaniPadmeHum:
Let me sound a note of advise (not warning).

Aplicants here...as much as we know the country is a mess, please do not listen to people who will come here and discourage you from giving your best to this test.

If not for anyone do it so you know you tried your best. Do it for yourself so you don't have to blame yourself for not trying hard enough.

Even men lost at sea still need to encourage each other (those conversant with BOSIET can testify). You will be surprised how a positive mindset will not only help you just because of DPR..but generally in life. It isn't a do or die affair but give it your utmost best.

Look at this test as exercising your brain. Afterall, when last did you prepare for a Test? Most don't until it is close. So use this to revise and prepare. Who knows if after DPR another company will call for a test?

What ever motivation you need, do so and motivate yourself. If they chose not to help you, do you choose not to help yourself? Did the torrent say it won't wash away the house? No. The question is will the house owner standby and watch it?
